If its not working try a flash drive 256mb or under, I am using two legend ones.

Same ones as in the link above and they have been working fine.

Edit, I wouldn't pay as much as that site is asking though, try on ebay.

right on the money

big s,
i did get one to work, you where right on the money 256 works
it probaly would help if i had some idea what i was doing.
i had to get taney to send me the DSP parameters the pulse eqiv
was set wrong.
once again taney came to the rescue, with a super fast reply.
i've cut a bit of dibond & just gob smacked how accurate it works.
i am finding may way through & are happy with my progress
i am still installing my new shed signs
but hope this arvo to do the counter sign i will be using a diabond/ acrylic & self adhesive vinyl to manufacture.
i will post it when i've got in up

thanks again

heath

Neither of the 2GB USB sticks supplied with my 2 new machines (Maxicam) worked.

Yesterday, Maxicam and I spent over 3 hrs via video/skype trying all kinds of things to resolve problem because we both thought that there was something wrong with the DSP. We could see the files on the DSP screen but couldn't get them to run. They were prepared to send a new one.

This morning I re-formatted both USBs to FAT32 and they work perfectly now.

Hi all,
Yeah, I use the Lexar 1g (blue) which work great, bought the 2g (black)version, prepared in exactly the same way as the blue, loaded in a dnc and it scrambled the DSP, had to re format the DSP to get it working...

So far Ive had 4 of the Chinese ones from exitech and 2 other random makes, the exitech one are way too flimsey, but the lexar 1g are very robust and have last well so far.

My worry is how long the USB slot in the DSP is going to last ? mines already feeling a bit loose.

Ive dabbled with the usb out of the DSP to PC for direct downloading of the nc files to the inner file list on the DSP, but havnt quite nailed it. the syntek software is not the most stable, plus cant find any help files out there....so its all a bit of a guess at the mo.

Graham.

Graham, We doubt that you actually own an Excitech. Every one of your posts seem to be those of a knocker.

Why don`t you just take the hint .... and take a hike - a long way away!!!!!!!!!!!

What has the Syntec software to do with it? The Syntec is a controller that is used on the Auto Tool Changer machine, and has nothing to do with the DSP on a manual tool change machine.

Our Chinese USB sticks that were supplied by Excitech do the job extremely well. In fact we lost the first USB stick and Taney sent over another couple for us to use. In a year and a half - absolutely no problem with them.

Then you try to tell us that your Yako drive is shot. But then it turns out not to be the case. Next attempt - the wires are broken. Sheesh!

Our Excitech has been absolutely reliable.

There appears to be a new " carvinmarvin " that comes along every month or so to try and rubbish our machines - but you all just trip yourselves up. Get a life!!!

Rocket.

ROCKET,Give the guy a break,

I have read both of his posts on Yako drives and now the usb key thing,
and Iam sorry but I cant find anything that reseambles bashing the Excitech
Machines.

We all have established you are one happy customer with the Excitech machine,

But would you believe there are some problems that crop up,
With Excitech Machines and all the others for what its worth.

In which I thought this forum was about!
If people have legitamate problems,then why souldnt they be address.
